Challenge Title: My Craft Room is Full of Ssshhhaving Cream! Hostess: Kim (aka berlycece) Keyword: APRVSN17K Date: Saturday April 1, 6 pm EST
Hey there stampers!! Are you having fun yet? I am!!
When I first thought of the theme April Fools, I remembered a special day during my foster parenting years. April Fools Day fell on a Saturday (like today!) and we celebrated all day. The kids (5 of them at the time) were told they could play pranks, as long as they didn't cause injury or property damage, and didn't break the law. ;) Shaving cream found its way onto a few door knobs and in someone's hair. I think there was an all-out war in the back yard!
In honor of that, I knew I wanted a "silly" technique, so my mind went instantly to the Shaving Cream Technique!
This fun technique is easy, and great with kids! I did this with 3 grand-daughters recently, and their giggles made my heart happy! Their mom is one of my former foster teens from that memorable day, so it is extra special to me.
You can use one color, or multiple colors...use as a background or for die cuts...just have FUN!! You can also try Lydia's version, which she introduced last fall: Shaving Cream Stenciling
I can't wait to see what you create!!

Oh, that makes sense. So people are still chatting in that one too.
Well, a couple of posts were made this morning while I was gone, but before the challenge went live. I just went in to comment & follow up...someone played a prank and I wanted the scoop! :p

Kim you've unleashed a shaving cream monster....:rolleyes: I LOVE this technique!! I made several backgrounds with stencils and might make another card tomorrow It was fun!!
Haha! Polly, I did the same thing...I had so much shaving cream & ink on my plate that I made LOTS of pieces. I created 3 cards, but still have pieces to use for more cards later. It's such a fun and simple technique...and kids love it!
